Breaking the Interface Barrier - Part 2
- Category: Posts
From the Technical Department.
When it comes to Digital Signage, it can all seem very daunting.This is part two of breaking the interface barrier, where I’ll be letting you in on a few tips as to how we make it easier for you to run your digital signage system.
Tip 2:
Build on more of what you know.
As per Part One of breaking the interface barrier, my advice is simple. Build on what you know, last time I mentioned ways where you can setup digital signage from the convenience of your computer desktop, without any specialised applications.This time I’m going to talk about how you can use Microsoft Excel, without doubt the most popular spreadsheeting program.
Using one of our software solutions DC Media, you can pull data from CSV files or event native Excel documents. What does this mean for you ?
Perhaps your own a cafe and you want to update your menu board. Instead of having to open up some complex authoring software, just open Excel, find the file and edit it right away. The software detects the change and automatically updates the content on the screen.
Or perhaps you are a retailer and you want the store manager to be able to change the current special.. no training necessary, simply open Excel and edit the text.. done !
One more example, we’ve got a client that has a production line, they have a line in an excel spreadsheet they keep updated with the current orders. The production manager simply updates the spreadsheet and all the production line works are across the current order requirements.
There are many other applications for this type of technology, perhaps there’s a way we can help you make digital signage easy for you too.
